I break the cycle with tapping (EFT). When the pain or the thoughts come, I begin to tap. "Even though I am feeling pain, I fully and completely accept myself and my body. I know these symptoms are temporary and are going away". I just repeat and tap and repeat and tap, until it loses energy. Other times I am like, "Ok pain, bring it on. You don't mean anything. You're leaving soon". You have to take away its power to control. This for me is a muscle I have to constantly strengthen or I will forget and go back to old behaviors.
